Title: write-file and umask

Hi Lutz,

'write-file always creates an executable file output.

Would be more convienient if Newlisp would check the umask

of the current user or always put the file into 600.

9

-rwxr-xr-x 1 newdep users 9 2005-05-30 13:26 count

0

Sounds reasonable, I can change that doing 'rw-rw-rw-' masked with umask

Note that this will not be in 8.6.0, due June 10th. I will add an optional permissions parameter to 'open' and 'write-file', but will do this after the release of 8.6.0
